FOREARMS

Plate Pinch

IntermediatePlate

A grip-focused hold where you squeeze a weight plate between your thumb and fingers. It builds pinch strength in the hands and forearms, a type of grip that most standard exercises miss.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Pinch the edge of a plate in one hand between your thumb and fingers.

  2. 2

    Raise your arm out to the side using your shoulder.

  3. 3

    Squeeze hard so the plate doesn't slip.

  4. 4

    Hold the pinch for the set time.

  5. 5

    To finish, lower into a squat and set the plate down on the floor.

  6. 6

    You'll feel this mostly in your forearms and shoulder.
